Abstract: A gas lighter with safety mechanism comprising an inner frame mounted on top of a fuel reservoir and provided with a valve for releasing fuel contained in the fuel reservoir; an outer frame mounted on top of the inner frame and having two supports each of which is provided with a L-shaped supporting hole including a vertical section and a horizontal section; a lever sandwiched between the two supports and pivotable with respect to the outer frame to actuate the valve; a flint disposed between the two supports; a friction wheel rotatably sleeved on a shaft between the two supports, the shaft are movably supported in the supporting holes, the friction wheel is separate from the flint when the shaft is moved to the vertical sections while contacts the flint to enable to generate sparks by rotating the friction wheel when the shaft is moved to the horizontal sections.

Abstract: The invention provides a safety stopper for use with a striker of the type used by welders and fabricators to light welding torches. The striker defines an open area. The safety stopper includes a cover shaped to cover a substantial portion of the open area, and shaped to expose the striker strike plate and flint. The safety stopper also includes attachment means for attaching the cover to the striker, such that the cover defines a clear path for movement of a first push-tab of the striker with respect to a second push-tab of the striker, and such that the cover, when attached to the striker, defines a clear path for movement of the first push-tab with respect to the second push-tab; such that when the striker, with the safety stopper attached, is carried hands-free attached to an operator's belt, the safety stopper reduces the chances of the operator being thrown off balance by the striker catching on an external object.

Abstract: A candle made with a wax base and a synthetic thermoplastic rubber copolymer. The wax base may be prepared from a variety of sources including petroleum sources, animal sources, vegetable sources, synthetic sources, and blends thereof. The synthetic thermoplastic rubber copolymer may be a diblock, triblock, radial block, multiblock copolymers, and blends thereof. In addition to the wax base and the synthetic thermoplastic rubber copolymer, candles made according to the invention can also include stabilizers, fragrances, dyes as well as other standard candle additives. Moreover, candles produced according to the invention have several cost saving advantages. The addition of the synthetic thermoplastic rubber copolymer allows for the production of high quality candles while utilizing less expensive wax bases. Additionally, disclosed candles decrease processing times and percent defects.

Abstract: The present invention relates to colored flame candles for decoration or lighting, and provides the manufacturing method for the colored flame candles containing fatty acid alcohols, aliphatic organic compounds, aliphatic surfactants unlike the conventional paraffin candles; coloring agents such as lithium stearate, boric acid, and copper (II) chloride; supporters; heat-resistant agents; and surfactants.

Abstract: The invention refers to a lighter which has a main body (1) and a cap (2); the main body (1) defines, in its upper part a tubular extension (12) to which is fixed an annular stone (5) and in its lower part a gas reservoir (11) equipped with a valve (3) with the corresponding burner (4). On the burner (4) an annular rasp (6) is mounted which is moveable and to which there is an associated bracket (8), and a spring (9) which pushes the afore-mentioned bracket (8) towards the upper part of the main body. The bracket (8) has lateral arms which protrude from the extension (12) through windows (13) and are located in cut-outs (24) defined in the interior of the cap (2). The recession of the cap (2) determines the action of a lever (10) which opens the gas valve (3) and the striking of the rasp (6) against the stone (5).

Abstract: Disclosed is a gas lighter. To use the gas lighter, first, the push-down member is depressed. As a result, the rotary body rotates and the engage pawl of the rotary body engages with the ratchet teeth of the ratchet. This rotates the ratchet, causing the rotary ignition means to rotate. As the rotary ignition means rotates, it rubs against the flint to make sparks, which ignite the gas injected from the gas injection means. To stop using the gas lighter, the depression of the push-down member should be released. Consequently, the push-down member returns by the returning elastic member so that the rotary body rotates in the opposite direction, thus disengaging the engage pawl from the ratchet teeth. At this time, the ratchet teeth and rotary ignition means do not rotate.

Abstract: A fuel preheater for use on a boiler fired by an oil burner of the type using an oil pump pumping oil from a tank, the boiler being of the type having a supply line carrying a heated medium from the boiler, the preheater having a coil member wrapped around the supply line of the boiler, a supply pipe extending from the oil burner pump outlet to the top of the coil to direct oil pumped from the tank through the pump and up to and through the coil where the oil is heated by its close proximity to the heated medium in the supply line; and a feed line extending from the base of the coil to receive fuel once it has passed through the coil and been heated which feed line extends to and is interconnected to the oil burner where the preheated oil is burned.

Abstract: A gas lighter has a pistol-shaped casing that contains a gas cartridge in line with a mouthpiece which simulates a muzzle and forms a hood overhanging a striker wheel coacting with a spring-pressed flint. The striker wheel is clamped between cheeks of a reel which is eccentrically linked with a slider having an actuator in the shape of a trigger and trigger guard, the latter being articulated to a toggle joint urged by a transverse spring into a nearly straight-line position whereby a squeezing of the trigger results in an accelerating rotation of the wheel against the flint. The slider also opens a shut-off valve at the cartridge to allow the outflow of gas which is ignited by sparks from the flint hurled toward the hood.

Abstract: A gas generator for an inflatable life raft having a gas-generating chamber filled with a gas-generating composition which generates gas by chemical reaction, either a chemical cooling chamber or a physical cooling-and-filtering chamber or both, a gas passage in communication with a safety valve, and an ignition device which provides rotational friction between a friction means and a frictional igniting agent. The gas generator has the advantages that it is not influenced by the environmental temperature, a gas temperature drop due to adiabatic gas expansion accompanying the gas discharge does not occur and therefore the generated gas can very reliably be discharged, the gas is fully cleaned, troubles due to abnormality of the gas-generating composition can be avoided, and it can be made light and small.
